Exactly my point. We have three young guys in an open competition. It shouldn't surprise that the one with the most "experience" is starting out as the backup.

I guarantee you Murray ends up the #2, Hogan the #3, and Bray gets cut.

Bray missed the whole year last year, and they gave him an extension still. I think it says a lot that they are giving him the early nod for that position.

The guard spots are also very intriguing. We HAVE to find guys who can consistently be 'OK' or better.

His extension includes zero guaranteed money, zero signing bonus and is a Vet Min contract in which he won't be paid a cent unless he's on the 53.

As for the "early nod", I think they're giving him enough rope to hang himself.

Otherwise, the Chiefs wouldn't have invested a 5th in Hogan.

I'm also starting to gain this gut feeling that Houston is going to play week 1.

I know a lot of people have been saying that and I haven't exactly rejected the possibility, but there's just something different about his whole injury and recovery. I mean, who has ever seen a guy doing what he was doing in that video from 7 weeks post-surgery? And then I think about guys like Chris Harris and Von Miller who tore their ACLs at similar time periods, and they didn't miss a game.

I don't want to set expectations too high, but knowing the things Dorsey has said, and that he is in KC and working right now, my expectations are that he makes it back for every game.

He missed an entire season and got a minor extension, and then they promote him to primary backup. I say that's a good sign for the young man.

The point is they clearly like something they see and want to give him the chance to succeed. I'm not saying he's a shoe-in for a roster spot, but they certainly view him as having the inside edge.

Eh, it's the first OTA. The guy hasn't played any type of football since 2014 Training Camp and preseason due to his ACL injury.

And for reference, Eric Kush opened up last year as the starting center, with Morse at right guard.

We all know how that turned out.

And he got outplayed and proved to not be versatile enough.

Being promoted on the roster is never a bad thing. Now it's up to Bray to earn that spot.

We all know he has the arm talent. We don't know if he's developed that 10cent head and carelessness with the ball.

I still can't believe anyone would root against him. He has the potential to not only become the QBOTF, but actually play an exciting brand of qb, something not seen since the Trent green years. At worst, he will be cut, no loss since he was undrafted.

Welp, we have a lot of interesting talent at Qb. First time in many years we can say that. Im sure everyone has someone they're rooting for. Murray, Bray and Hogan all have shown flashes and they all have some interesting tools that make one believe they could be "it". Im in the Bray camp.

FWIW, Nelson took the 'first team' reps today in team drills, according to Adam Teicher.

This would have been different though had Gaines been able to participate in those. It looks like if we suited up and played today though, there likely wouldn't be any rookies starting. That could very well change obviously.

Exactly.

They aren't going to cut him without giving him one last shot at proving that he's indispensable. This happens all the time with guys on the fringe. They're going to give him his last, best shot to establish himself.

90% likely that he's cut but this is a smart staff. They're not going to cut him without giving him a chance to show that they shouldn't. Burying him on the depth chart and then cutting him would be a Pioli/Crennel move. This regime is smarter than that.

I still like bray more than murray. Bray actually showed legitimate tools at Tennessee and even in his time here. Obviously he's got a bigger arm, but he was pretty good in and around the pocket.

But I'm guessing the 10 cent brain thing gets him in the end.

There's absolutely no way you can take that away from OTAs.

It simply means its not a foregone conclusion. If anything I'd say it means that Murray has a better chance at the 53 man because they're pretty sure they know what they have in Murray and don't feel the need to rush him out there without pads/contact just to make sure he knows the playbook.

His footwork will tell the tale.

His feet at Tennessee were just garbage so it kept him from being able to throw the ball where he wanted to twice in a row. He simply couldn't maintain the kind consistent mechanics that he needed to in order to make accurate throws.

He'd compensate for bad footwork, pick up a bad habit that worked, then 2 plays later his feet would do the right thing but his compensation would fire the ball wide or high or low. He spent his whole college career trying to throw to a strike zone that would essentially shift as he released. It's amazing to me that he managed to accomplish what little he did.

The 'legitimate tools' you speak of are really just one thing - he throws the ball really !@#$ing hard. His touch isn't great, his accuracy isn't great. He doesn't have 'plus arm talent' because that connotes more than just a strong arm. He simply has/had a cannon and little else. Apart from the inability to read defense, he simply didn't have the repeatability in his delivery that would allow him to succeed.

He's Ryan Mallett without the drug/alcohol problems. Eh...okay. He's worth sending out there with a better supporting cast to see if his feet are cooperating a little better or if he can run the offense, but I still don't expect much.

I'm really excited to see what kind of front 4 groupings Sutton can create come this preseason. And of course by that I mean the season in general, but we'll get our first look come that home game against Seattle in August.

Once Houston is ready to roll, think about some of the multiple possible combos.

Assuming Dee Ford makes some progress, or perhaps even another guy behind him, the possible groupings are endless, and they are all filled with beasts.

Houston, Hali, Poe, Bailey, Howard, Jones, Ford.... should absolutely be the deepest pass rush in the NFL.

It's pretty much an unparalleled collection of tools, no doubt.

Hali's unquestionably the least physically gifted player in that group and it's not even particularly close. Every other guy in that group can either point to freakish speed, freakish strength or some combination of the two that are virtually unheard of even among NFL athletes.

That's the kind of skill-set that either gets a coach paid or gets him fired. There's no middle ground. If you can't get that group to rape faces, you need to seek alternate employment.

In a heartbeat by why would the Cowboys make that move? Couldn't they do better than a simple return man? It's not like Davis is going to take reps from Elliott after the draft capital they invested in him.

The problem is that Leary has almost certainly requested the trade due to compensation. It's his alternative to a hold out. Without getting a Berry extension done, we're in no better shape to offer him a LTC than Dallas is.

From my understanding, Leary, while healthy, only started four games last year due to the signing of Collins. He started 15 games in 2014 and 16 games in 2013.

Dallas obviously overvalues him because they placed a 2nd round tender on him but hell, if the Chiefs can trade a couple players like DAT and Davis or a 4th in the 2017 draft, I think they should be all over it.

What I don't get is Andy's decisions when it comes to guys coming back from injury at times on the OL.

It's like if a guy gets hurt who is pretty decent, but the team wins without him, he won't put him back in until another injury happens. I hope he cuts that nonsense out. Either way, with what appears to be solid talent at OT/C, we just need two guards to step up and be a little better than OK, and be reliable. Stay on the field. We get that, and it's the best line we've had in a good while.

“Somebody’s got to be the No. 2, so he’s the No. 2 right now,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “We’re trying to get as many reps with each one of them as we can, but somewhere you’ve got to distinguish them.”
Bray said he was told last week that he would open OTAs as the No. 2 quarterback.

“Nothing’s locked in,” Bray said. “We still have a lot of time to go until the preseason.”

Reid agreed, adding that Bray’s seniority — he joined the club as an undrafted free agent in 2013, while Murray was taken in the fifth round in 2014 and Hogan was taken in the fifth round this year — played a role in the decision to start him out with the second team.

“That’s kind of it,” Reid said. “He’s been in here the longest of the three.”

“It’s as wide-open as you can get,” Reid said. “None of them have experience.”

I'm not particularly amped at the idea of Fulton at guard either, but there's simply no way to know yet if Ehinger is any sort of upgrade.

I think Fulton is gone after his contract is up, and I don't blame him. He can start for someone. He'd be a solid starting C, but we don't need him with Morse moving forward.

Interesting to see us triple dip at CB like the Packers did last year with Randall, Rollins and Gunter (that worked out well for them).
The Packers double-dipped at OT this year with Spriggs and Murphy due to OL contracts ending after this year.
With Fulton and LDT benign FA's in the same year and Reid getting a higher pay price for average play, I think it's very likely that Dorsey follows suit and double-dips at OL like his mentor Ted Thompson just did.

Dontari Poe, all 346 pounds of him, tackles yoga along with some Chiefs teammates

Imagine 6-foot-3, 346-pound defensive tackle Dontari Poe standing on his right foot, hunched over at the waist with his torso parallel to the ground, left leg extended directly behind him, arms extended forward. He feels confidence in his balance, eyes closed. Yoga practitioners will recognize the warrior three pose that combines balance and strength. Yoga instructors will introduce the position as Virabhadrasana III. All Poe and other members of the Chiefs know is that poses like this, taught in yoga classes they attend, provide tangible benefits to their offseason training regimen.

Yes, a growing number of Chiefs players are ‘yogees,’ and a handful of them spoke about it on Wednesday after completing their second day of organized team activities, or OTAs. Besides Poe, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and cornerback Marcus Peters fessed up to spending some time in a Vinyasa, Ashtanga or slow burn class. “I ‘namaste’ too,” said Peters, quoting a typical yoga instructor’s session-ending salutation.

For Poe, yoga became a primary workout after a season in which he was recovering from a herniated disk in his back. “It helps you know how to take care of yourself better,” Poe said. “People told me that it helps flexibility … It works. It’s hard, but it works.” Poe, 25 and a two-time Pro Bowl participant, may not be typical of the person who unfurls a mat in class. But he didn’t allow his inexperience to deter him. He mustered some courage and took the first step. “It wasn’t too hard when somebody said it would help me feel better,” Poe said. “That’s all they pretty much had to tell me. I tried it for a couple of days. I helped release (back) pressure. After that, it was non-stop.”

Poe said he went to class a couple of times a week this offseason, and no surprise here, he was the giant in the room. “I’m a room with yogees, man,” Poe said. “They’re small. They’re doing the stretches with no problem. And I’m trying to fake like it’s no problem. But they tried to help me; it was no stress.”

Poe worked out in Phoenix with a training partner who is a boxer and has back issues of his own. He sold Poe on yoga, and now Poe is hooked ... much like Peters, who measures the benefits both physically and mentally. “It’s relaxing — it helps you relax your brain,” said Peters, the second-year pro who was named NFL defensive rookie of the year by the Associated Press. “It helps you simmer down all those things that you got going on.”

Maclin, who led the Chiefs with 87 receptions and eight touchdowns last season, incorporates yoga into his workout routine but professes to a lack of flexibility. Could he envision the massive Poe, who three years ago said his biggest sacrifice for getting in shape was surrendering barbecue, in a downward-facing dog pose? “No, I can’t,” Maclin said.

But then Maclin considered how Poe battled through his back problems last season after missing training camp. “If anybody could do it, he probably could,” Maclin said.

They’re doing the stretches with no problem. And I’m trying to fake like it’s no problem. But they tried to help me; it was no stress.”

Poe worked out in Phoenix with a training partner who is a boxer and has back issues of his own. He sold Poe on yoga, and now Poe is hooked ... much like Peters, who measures the benefits both physically and mentally. “It’s relaxing — it helps you relax your brain,” said Peters, the second-year pro who was named NFL defensive rookie of the year by the Associated Press. “It helps you simmer down all those things that you got going on.”

Maclin, who led the Chiefs with 87 receptions and eight touchdowns last season, incorporates yoga into his workout routine but professes to a lack of flexibility. Could he envision the massive Poe, who three years ago said his biggest sacrifice for getting in shape was surrendering barbecue, in a downward-facing dog pose? “No, I can’t,” Maclin said.

But then Maclin considered how Poe battled through his back problems last season after missing training camp. “If anybody could do it, he probably could,” Maclin said.

Poe been bike riding with his dogs too.

The waiver guarantees him to his slotted deal even if he's injured. Just like how Fowler still got slotted his deal from the Jags even though he tore his ACL in rookie camp.

I freaking love that kid. He just gets it. His mentality and approach is the absolute prototype of what a cornerback should be.

With him leading the way, and EB and Parker holding up the back end, I have full confidence that our young unproven DBs are in great hands. Hopefully they all work out, but I'm sure that at least two will step up and be playmakers at the CB position with this type of leadership across from them.

I don't think people are considering the fact that he played the entire year with a bad shoulder that could've kept him from diving for those balls.

I was just as frustrated as anybody with those plays, but it's certainly possible the injury prevented him from doing so.

Wilson is a solid player for an UDFA and has all he tools to be a good slot in this offense. He shouldn't written off so easily this early in his career.

I hope/think Conley beats him out at that #2 spot, but I don't get the Wilson hate.

Wilson's efforts to sacrifice himself for the team have been questioned several times on tape.

I like him but he isn't a natural WR. You can see it pretty easily when he fails to dive and stretch out for balls that other guys like Maclin would go for. He tends to give up on anything that he has to lay out for. He just doesn't have the natural instincts of a good WR and no one knows if he can develop them at this point. That and the dude is pretty small.

Keep ****ing doubting Steven Nelson CP!!!!

I've been staying out of the Nelson debate. I know some here have declared him a bust since the day he was drafted but I maintain that we won't know what we have in Nelson until they wash the Mark Banker stink off of him.

You can not underestimate how bad our DC was at Oregon State. Defenders coming from OS always started slow in the NFL, particularly corners. Keenan Lewis did nothing his first couple of years in the league and then turned into a pretty decent corner (though the injury bag has been getting him recently). Banker taught a really weird technique for corners and it seems to take a bit to get the correct technique. Of course, sometimes nothing helps like in the case of Sabby.

It sounds like Nelson might be finally getting it this season. Once they finish getting the Banker off of him, then we find out if we have a Lewis or a Sabby. Calling him a bust because he didn't get on the field much last season is premature (and ignorant).

If Nelson plays to his potential and Russell and Murray don't see the field it will only be because Russell and Murray aren't playing to their potential.

Nelson on the field won't be a good thing because it means that Gaines, Russell and/or Murray aren't playing as well as they could be. If those 3 guys are at peak level, they're flat out better players than Nelson can be, IMO.

No question. I didn't say there was a huge distinction between Murray and Nelson. I simply think Murray's a slightly better prospect as I don't believe his game relies quite as much on beating on WRs as Nelsons did at the same level (despite Murray having plenty of press experience).

I think Murray's technique transitions just a little better. I think he's just a little longer, I think he's just a little more fluid in his turns and I think he's just a little more explosive.

He's not alarmingly better in any particular area, I think he's just a little bit better in several areas and as such I think he's a guy who will keep Nelson off the field if he's able to play to his potential. Is it likely this early in his career? No - but I also don't think his learning curve is quite as steep as Nelson's was.

Can't disagree with any of that, but I'd add that Nelson has better ball skills. Like RunKC said though, I think Murray is going to take over Abdullah's role in the defense.

I think that's likely as well. So you have Murray in the 3rd safety/Nickel Hybrid role and then Gaines/Russell battling it out for the #2 and 'pure' nickel spots.

In either event, it would seem to leave Nelson as a true Dime back but more like a spare dime.

Whenever you have 5 DBs on the field you figure you're looking at Berry, Parker, Peters, Gaines, Russell. If you have a 6th, more likely than not one of them will be Sutton's hybrid safety so I figure you still end up with Berry, Parker, Peters, Gaines, Russell, Murray at that point.

And that's not even getting into whether or not Fleming can make the S transition (I think he can) and play the Abdullah role in his own right.

That's why I say that in a perfect world, Nelson doesn't see the field.

Against the Patriots there were times where we had 7 DB's in the game, so it's likely that we could see plays with Peters, Gaines, Russell, Berry, Parker, Nelson and Murray all on the field together.

Unfortunately Sutton ran that design on the play where Ford whiffed on Brady, stepped up in the pocket (which of course he could bc it was Poe, DJ and Branch vs 3 OL) and convert the 3rd down to Gronk gaining about 30 yards.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Knile Davis denies requesting a trade this offseason, but he said he looks forward to the opportunity to show what he can do on the field.

Fantasy Tip: Davis may not have asked for a trade, but he would certainly benefit from a change of scenery. He isn't worth owning if he stays in Kansas City, but he could be a late-round option in the right spot.

I think that's likely as well. So you have Murray in the 3rd safety/Nickel Hybrid role and then Gaines/Russell battling it out for the #2 and 'pure' nickel spots.

In either event, it would seem to leave Nelson as a true Dime back but more like a spare dime.

Whenever you have 5 DBs on the field you figure you're looking at Berry, Parker, Peters, Gaines, Russell. If you have a 6th, more likely than not one of them will be Sutton's hybrid safety so I figure you still end up with Berry, Parker, Peters, Gaines, Russell, Murray at that point.

And that's not even getting into whether or not Fleming can make the S transition (I think he can) and play the Abdullah role in his own right.

That's why I say that in a perfect world, Nelson doesn't see the field.

The KC scouts said that Murray could play that role, specifically, in their post draft PC.

I'm sure it's on kcchiefs.com if someone wants to watch it/link it here.

This explains why Russell hasn't signed

--------

What’s the holdup with third-rounders? As explained by Jason Fitzgerald of OverTheCap.com, the third round is the only round of the draft where the players can negotiate a higher contract.

All drafted players have a slotted signing bonus, but the base salaries can be negotiated. This year, once again, all first- and second-round picks have gotten the maximum base salaries. Picks in Rounds 4-7 get minimum salaries. But third-rounders don’t have a set number.

For example, Bengals linebacker Nick Vigil (drafted 87th overall) is making about $25,000 less on his four-year contract than Packers linebacker Kyler Fackrell (drafted 88th) and Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise (drafted 90th).

The draftees directly above Brissett (Prosise) and below (Cardinals cornerback Brandon Williams) have already signed their deals. But because Brissett plays a premium position, he likely is seeking extra money.

Chiefs signed No. 74 overall pick CB KeiVarae Russell to a four-year contract.
He signed just in time for the Chiefs' three-day rookie minicamp, which opens on Saturday. Russell was the 12th cornerback selected in last week's draft. He'll open the year behind starters Marcus Peters and Phillip Gaines. May 6 - 3:13 PM

I like the options that we now have on the roster. Remember relying on Mike McGlynn, Dunta Robinson and Kendrick Lewis? Thank God those days are over.

-Conley, Streater, Wilson and Robinson battling for the 2/3 WR spots.
-Fulton, Pughsley, Ehinger, Reid and LDT battling for 2 G spots.
-Mauga, March and Wilson battling for ILB.
-Gaines, Nelson, Russell, White battling for the 2/3 CB spots.
-Fleming, Murray and Cooper battling for 3rd S.

Throw 'em all on the field and let the best player win.
Still have work to do at S but it's nice to actually have some talent that isn't garbage for the most part.
